The 2009 SantaCon Beijing tour is underway. If you can’t attend the entire event, you can catch up with the jolly group at various bars throughout the day and evening – look for the guys in red. Below is the schedule from 2 PM on. Below that are Twitter updates from the group (they’re a bit behind schedule at the moment) – you can follow them live at the @bjsantason account (the Beijing SantaCon web site is here). I’m aiming to meet up with the group at Saddle…
